Who is Sarah Sherman and what is her background?
Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of Good Hang. We are very excited about our guest today. It is Sarah Sherman. Sarah is a current cast member on Saturday Night Live, and we could consider her a vet. She has just finished her fifth season. And I just want to file this one under not safe for work or for kids, because we do get into some... fun and down and dirty topics like, well, SNL, duh, and psychoanalysis and Long Island and her insane, wildly original new special, Sarah Squirm, live and in the flesh on HBO. So, um, listen for Sarah, but, but before we start, right, we always like to talk to somebody who knows our guests, who, um, who has spent time with them and who can speak well and give us a question.
And, uh, we're going to talk today to Mitra Juhari. Mitra is an amazing actress, writer, producer. You may know her, uh, from episodes of the bear from the show she created three busy Debra's. Um, she's a writer on, um, Big mouth. And she's just incredible talent. Came up with Sarah, her good friend. We're going to check in with Mitra, who is on her lunch break and get a question from her. So hi, Mitra. It's good to see you.

She's on the set.
Mitra is on the set. Mitra, where are we talking to you from?
Netflix.
A lot of people don't know that Netflix has beautiful offices. Really, really.
They give you a free hanger. So. Incredible. You can hang anything on that. You can hang anything on that as long as it's not pants because the hanger is broken. I hear giggles in the back. I wish I was in there.
On top of Mitra being incredibly talented, she's also like a real deal activist, boots on the ground person. And I was thinking about during COVID when you, when you zoomed with my sons to talk to them about the LA unhoused situation and what they could do about it. It was...
They were so cute and sweet. I loved talking to them. They were so thoughtful and had such good questions and were really making me laugh.
Remember that when we were all just like in that COVID bubble of just like, I guess we, I guess this is how we'll learn now.
I was living with Patty and we were making some of the most fucked up cocktails imaginable. Like actively drinking them being like, this is disgusting.
And finishing them.
How did Sarah's childhood influence her career in comedy?
Patty Harrison, another hilarious comedian and actor. Okay. We've got Sarah coming in today. That's why I'm sad. Another reason why I'm sad I'm not there. I want to be seeing her. I have so many questions for Sarah. Did you watch her special? Yes.
I have questions for her too. Her nasty ass.
Her nasty ass special. You have known Sarah for a very long time. When did you two first meet?
2015. And our mutual friend, Drennan, who knew her from Chicago, she was coming out to New York to do shows. And she guested on this show called Holy Fuck that I was a part of. And he was like, there's this freak coming named Sarah Sherman. And I think you guys would really like each other. And then we like hit it off immediately. And we went on a, tour with this great comedian writer named jamie loft is called the sarah metron jamie or ugly tour um and just like she eventually wrote and appeared butt naked on deborah yeah so we we worked on a show together three busy deborahs on adult swim that you wrote and produced and you were the star of along with other deborahs sandy and elisa
That's right. And Sarah was a writer on there, which is where I first heard her. And I was introduced to her as Sarah Squirm, which is the name she was going by at the time, which I remember thinking at the time it was unusual that a comic actor had like what felt like almost like a rock star name.
